I just wanted to say that I admire your dedication to taryn x garret/taryn since noone likes her lmaoo 😭😭 probably one of the only taryn truthers out there 🥲

asdkajsdkas thank you. I really didn't care that much about taryn after finishing the books—like she was interesting, and I thought holly had done something clever with her and jude's relationship, and the thought of the ghost/taryn dynamic gave me something to chew on in my free time, but that was it.

but then I came on tumblr and saw that people like. really see this 17 yr old traumatized girl as an irredeemable monster? and the more I thought about it, the more ridiculous that seemed to me?? like yes she genuinely makes bad, harmful decisions; I don't deny that. but damn, I'm glad my family & friends allowed me the chance to grow past the person I was at 17. we already see her growing in tqon, and it's clear from the new oak books that she and jude have made their peace (to the point that her disastrous marriage to locke is the butt of a joke!)

I'm also aware that for some people, taryn-hate is just a meme. that's fine, I get it, I've been in fandom spaces for most of my life at this point. but I truly believe you have more fun with the books when you read her as a whole person, and I'm also sad that we hold girl characters to much higher standards than their male counterparts—to the extent that we're so comfortable treating this teenage girl like the scum of the earth. and that's not even really to speak to the media analysis aspect of conversations surrounding taryn

#it's just bizarre to me honestly #also to be clear - im aware that for some people #taryn's actions strike at something that is just absolutely inconceivable #and therefore unforgivable. and i respect that everyone's entitled to their own feelings and readings of things #i just wish we talked about taryn (1) in the context of the world of Elfhame - not our own #and (2) in the context of her whole arc - not just books one and two #that's just basic appropriate media analysis #thanks for the ask <3 #tfota #taryn duarte #the folk of the air #tarynposting

"Jude,

Come home. Come home and shout at me. Come home and fight with me. Come home and break my heart, if you must.

Just come home.

- Cardan"

did I make this up or are Jude and Taryn canonically from Maine?

I'm re-reading The Cruel Prince (in a special edition I bought recently!) And I've been coloring + highlighting it. Have a quick look!

The map

Book one!

Some chapter headers as an example.

Book two 📕

Cardan being like "What's wrong bae? Your vibes are off 😥"

(Unfortunately the first part of the sentence was cut off, but Jude basically notes that he looked "gleeful".) So yes, Cardan enjoys Jude's anger and attention, and he brings it on himself on purpose but we already knew that 😂

"No one seems particularly impressed 😔" -> Cardan waiting for her right after the tournament is over. Don't worry Jude, at least ONE person was very very impressed 🧐

(These highlights were all from Chapter 9!)

This being The Ghost and Taryns first meeting always makes me giggle

I raise a plastic glass. “To family.”

“And Faerieland,” says Taryn, raising hers.

“And pizza,” says Oak.

“And stories,” says Heather.

“And new beginnings,” says Vivi.

Cardan smiles, his gaze on me. “And scheming great schemes.”

To family and Faerieland and pizza and stories and new beginnings and scheming great schemes. I can toast to that.

“Time to change partners,” a voice says, and I look to see that it's the worst possible person: Cardan. “Oh,” he says to Locke. “Did I steal your line?”

As Aelin Galathynius would say, that's Territorial Fae Bullshit™

And I agree
